THE ARTS: Obviously this category is a bit broad. That's because I love "The Arts" as a whole. Art, in any form, has the power to speak to our minds directly through our emotions. It's a language of the subconscious. People often forget what's deep inside of them, or never notice it at all. Art helps them to see it. My favorite form of art doesn't require any particular medium. The best art to me is, any kind of art that makes the ugly, repulsive, and dark, into something beautiful. In doing this the artist helps us to let the light of the grotesque in, and learn something about the deepest parts of ourselves. In that discovery of self lies the true beauty of what has been created. Like a lotus from the mud.

Anyway, don't want to take this comment away from you but I couldn't help notice Gyllien's comment about being afraid of clowns, OMG! I hate clowns. Everytime I see a clown I have this incredible urge to pop him right in the nose or in the gut. Everytime I think of clowns the jack in the box music plays in my head and scares the hell out of me. Why do we hate clowns so much?
Sorry mr pennyliess... I just had to interrupt that comment. Hope I didn't come across as being rude.
I myself am an English major. I wanted to become an English professor at a small college. People had asked why not a regular university and my answer is, I want to see all the faces I'm teaching. I want to be able to connect with each of my students and you really cannot do that working for a large college.
Then I get well gee your not going to make a lot of money. To me money is not everything. Yes you need it to survive and to have a life of some sort but I think happiness is much more important.
As I move about in my college career I have been thinking of changing my major to psychology and I would like to minor in history. I have changed my mind so many times. I don't know what I want to be when I grow up. But I do enjoy writing. My favorite authors are
Kate Chopin
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Emerson
Thoreau
Poe
...to name a few
Sorry for taking over your whole blog post
